Karkadze's involvement as a replacement points to a clearly defined impact role — his carry and tackle numbers per appearance are modest but consistent, suggesting he's used for short, purposeful bursts rather than extended influence. His best outing shows he can spike meaningfully with four carries and three tackles in a single match. The try on record adds a finishing dimension that rounds out his profile as a useful, disciplined bench option.
